Only 23% are convinced that Trump did nothing wrong. Even among Republican voters, more than half (53%) think the former president did something unethical or illegal. A whopping 74% of independents and 64% of white evangelical Christians say he was at fault or committed a crime.

The poll showed that 56% of Americans consider investigations against Trump to be fair, while 41% say he is the target of a witch hunt.
